Generate Lorem Ipsum on Go ✍️

Lorem ipsum is a placeholder text commonly used to demonstrate the visual form of a document or a typeface without relying on meaningful content.

Here is a snippet to generate Lorem Ipsum quickly and easily.

import (
    "fmt"
    "math/rand"
    "time"
)

var DATA [30]string = [30]string{"Lorem", "ipsum", "dolor", "sit", "amet", "consectetur", "adipiscing", "elit", "Mauris", "faucibus", "lectus", "eget", "cursus", "tempus", "ligula", "orci", "mattis", "massa", "nec", "eleifend", "lorem", "ipsum", "congue", "erat", "Pellentesque", "suscipit", "semper", "sapien", "sed", "luctus"}

func LoremWords(quantity int) string {
    rand.Seed(time.Now().UnixNano())

    lorem := ""

    for i := 0; i < quantity; i++ {
        lorem += DATA[rand.Intn(30)] + " "
    }

    return lorem
}

LoremWords will return something like: "congue amet ligula nec lorem".

If you want it to look friendlier

func Sentence(words int) string {
    text := LoremWords(words)
    return strings.TrimSpace(strings.ToUpper(text[0:1])+text[1:]) + "."
}

Sentence will return something like: "Consectetur eget tempus ipsum sapien."

If you prefer an external package to take care of this, you can use Lorelai 👇

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "github.com/UltiRequiem/lorelai/pkg"
)

func main() {
        fmt.Println(lorelai.Paragraph())
        fmt.Println(lorelai.Sentence())
        fmt.Println(lorelai.LoremWords(40))
}

It also brings some extra utilities 🌈

func sayHi() {
    fmt.Printf("My, my name is: %s.\n", lorelai.Word())
    fmt.Println("My email address is %s\n", lorelai.Email())
    fmt.Println("My website is: %s\n", lorelai.URL())
}
